HISTORY

  • The first city girls' school opened in Elizabethtown in 1860, and was intended to provide education to girls from needy families, which is why this women's gymnasium was called the "School for the Poor Girls."

The school was two-class, and the money was maintained annually by local merchants. There were three mentors and 12 girls in the opening year of the school.
